Abstract

An array substrate includes a substrate, first power supply signal lines, data lines and fan-out lines. The fan-out lines each include a first sub-line and a second sub-line; an end of the second sub-line is electrically connected to the first sub-line, another end of the second sub-line is electrically connected to a single data line, and the second sub-line is insulated from remaining data lines of the data lines. The first sub-line and main structures of the data lines are disposed in a same layer. An orthographic projection, on the substrate, of a first sub-line passing through a column of sub-pixel regions is substantially located between an orthographic projection, on the substrate, of a first power supply signal line passing through the column of sub-pixel regions and an orthographic projection, on the substrate, of a data line passing through the column of sub-pixel regions.
